Sen Oseni: The Hope Of The Masses

The Senator representing Kogi Central at the Red Chamber of the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Yakubu Oseni has always been proactive in taking measures to ameliorate emerging predicaments of his constituents.

Out of his usual magnanimity, Senator Oseni donates stimulus welfare packages worth millions of Naira to Muslims Clerics & faithfuls across his constituency. Records has it that over 5000 bags of food items such as, rice, beans, sugar, maize, packs of indomies, spaghetti, maggi, salts e.t.c were all distributed to help ameliorate the current predicament of the people in this Ramadan period

This is not the first time the senator in his magnanimous gesture would improve the standard of living of the people of the area, but this is exceptional especially during this Sacred period where it is incumbent on all Muslims both the less privilege and the rich to observe fasting to once again regig their Islamic faith and doctrine  

The senator in an interactive session with his supporters & beneficiary said "ever since the outbreak of Covid 19, we have been donating and distributing foodstuffs to cushion the effects of the Covid 19 and the hardship accompanied by the pandemic, our effort is geared at  providing succor to the people so as to justify our mandate and rejuvenate our leadership responsibility for the people".

It is usually wondering how a man find solace in spending huge resources solely to salvage the masses. If all leaders could be like Senator Oseni in taken proactive and bold steps, we will all change our prayer points from "O'Lord Give us a good leader to O'Lord thanks for given us a leader"

May God continue to bless Senator Oseni beyond measures.

Ekuechi Festival Of Ebiraland

ORIGIN OF THE FESTIVAL There are few accounts of how the festival started. However, the differences inthese accounts are not fundamental. Generally, Ireba Eku (masquerade cult) wasbelieved to have been formed under the divine instruction of God to check the excesses of women, apart from serving as ancestor worship. Myth has it that aftercreating man and woman as husband and wife, one day God sent for the man but hewas too busy to honour the call. Instead, he requested his wife to heed God’s call onhis behalf. God gave her Irakwo (an egg-like object that contains the secrets of lifeand has the capacity to manifest supernatural powers) for her husband.

In about 1680 AD, they (along with the Idoma and Igala) migrated out of Wukari a chieftaincy dispute. The Ebira later split into various groups and settled in different locations between 1680 and 1750 AD. The Eb...
